This species is simi- lar to Pogonia japonica Rchb. f. and P. minor (Makino) Makino, but can be distinguished in flower by its short hairy crests on the disk of the labellum mid-lobe, by its glabrous abaxial surface of the labellum, and by its single, broad, purplish pink band along the mid-vein of the petals. Nucleotide sequence divergences among the three entities in the nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS and the plastid trnK 5’ intron regions warrant independent species status of the new entity.

MacGowan, Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University Woody plants can be of value to many wildlife species. The species of tree or shrub, or the location, size, and shape of planting can all have an impact on wildlife. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the benefits of trees and shrubs for wildlife and how to design tree and shrub plantings for wildlife. Some of the practices may conflict with other management goals and may have to be modified for individual priorities. Trees and Shrubs for Wildlife The species you select for a tree planting should depend on the growing conditions of the site and the wildlife species that you want to manage. Talk to a professional forester to help you select the tree species best suited for your growing conditions. A professional biologist, such as a Department of Natural Resources District Biologist (www.in.gov/ food source for wildlife (Table 2). Shrubs can be dnr/fishwild/huntguide1/wbiolo.htm), can assist you particularly important because several species of with planning a tree planting for wildlife. wildlife, especially songbirds, prefer to feed or nest There is no specific formula for developing wild- on or near the ground.

    Creeping Devil Cactus Stenocereus eruca Also known as: Caterpillar Cactus, Casa de Ratas Machaerocereus eruca Rating: 0.0 ( 0 votes) This description is for Creeping Devil Cactus (Stenocereus eruca): To the eye, stenocereus eruca looks as though it has simply collapsed to the ground, but in fact, it is one of the very few species of ground hugging cacti. Commonly known as the creeping devil cactus, it is far from being a friendly plant. It has large, sharp dagger-like spines that make walking over them extremely difficult, and smaller, needle-like spines to cloak its dark green stem beneath. It flowers in spring, producing narrow, trumpet- shaped blossoms at night, usually pink or white. A lover of sandy, well-drained soil, it is an interesting choice for garden groundcover, but the required hot climate reduces its suitable locations to just a few.

Its identity was confirmed by morphological comparison and DNA extractions from herbarium specimens collected between 1914 and 1938. Results from the molecular phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that L. hostifolia belongs to the L. makinoana complex. In comparison with other members of the L. makinoana complex, the broadly ovate labellum, short dormancy period, and flowering from November to March are unique characteristics of L. hostifolia. Results from the molecular phylogenetic analyses also suggested that L. hostifolia has had a long-isolated history in the Bonin Archipelago and probably migrated from temperate East Asia.
